I never understood "virtual vinvyl" with CDJs
Just me....but i don't get it

Apart from file serving....what can a "program" do that a CDJ can't in that set up? Especially given all CDJ's play mp3s now
Unlesss you cant beat match?????

At home I use my 1200's but out i find that given a choice the cdj's are just much more reliable, the turntables at the place i play at most of the time have conked out on me mid set and the signal that serato box recieves from them is shithouse

It's a novation Nio 2/4 and it's awesome for what I payed ($250 New) sounds great also it's good to have some volume knobs handy and horizontal like unlike most other cards out there

sweet thanks dude

i'm thinking of getting them, theyre so sexy!

I think they are quite awesome.. The design is alot better imo

Well I suppose it's my turn



2 x Stanton ST8.150s
2 x Denon DN-S1000
1 x Denon DN-X1500s

With Serrato, bit of an interesting setup that I have been piecemealing together and only completed recently. Will probably get a proper desk setup once I move out and kind of wishing Stantons were silver so they'd match my mixer! (or vica-versa). All good, does the job for me.

nice set up. fucking love that mixer. most underrated mixer imho. what headphones you using?

^They look like Sony MDR-V700s

Just some cheepy Stanton DJPRO3000s (the ones with the flashy lights on the sides), I had a pair of Audio-Technica PRO 700s a few years ago but I broke them Will probably get another set of PRO 700s once the Stantons die and try to take good care of them

Cheers for the love DJ Bones, I have spent a lot of money on it I actually think it was some peepz opinions on ITM (maybe even you Bones) of the Denon 1500S that made me go for it. I can't believe how cheap it is for what you get, awesome aweosme mixer. Only problem is that silver surface will get scratched if you don't take good baby care of it, some of the store demos of it I have seen look like shit.

I had a Denon 1500 for years....the original black one
Really sad to part with it.....that baby took a beating....well a controlled beating and was in perfect condition the day i passed it on to another ITM member
I am sure it is still in as new perfect functioning condition.
Really underated for what it is.....i opted for it over a DJM600 at the time (6 years ago) and it was the best decision i made.

Only complaint was it had a tendancy to get a little warm if not well ventilated.....but still ran perfect.

Only reason i moved on was the upgrade to my Ecler EVO5....but thats like comparing apples and oranges

those cheapy stantons are currently more expensive than the pro 700s at dj warehouse... the black ones anyway

I'm curious to know what you liked better about the pro700s compared to the stantons?

Must of been on special when I bought them, or perhaps I have the wrong model number...Anyways the Pro 700s felt alot more comfortable, had good strong bass and they just felt better on my big head

Noob question here.

Just looking at the way your TTs are set up. I have mine set up the opposite of yours (longways). WHat are the pros and cons of each, or does it come down to lack of room on your desk or just personal preference.

What is battle style?

Cheers

^^ He has them in battle style bro, better for scratching, a little less easy to knock the tone arm and save a bit of space.

Cons: If your mixing the pitch is all the way up the top.

You need to extend that shelf out towards you on a 45 degree slope and put your CDJ's there
They look like they would be hard to reach with a record playing

yeah riding the pitch is a bitch if you have to reach over the tone arm

^+1 - Screwed up a few of my sets by not moving the decks around (back to non battle-style) before my set.

Yea as I said I am going to be moving out soon so haven't bothered fixing up my CD-DJs, and space is a serious constraint which is why I have the TTs battle style - although I see alot clubs have their TTs in battle style so I figured it be a good chance to practice it.

The shelf was originally for books but it also makes a good spot for my laptop/CD DJs, and fortunately I'm tall enough to see what the CDDJs are up to

Sweet. Thanks for that.

just my begginers setup for now, upgrading to a djm 800 and 2 cdj100's in the next few months

^think you meant cdj1000s right

why upgrade to 1000's. the 800's are fine. practically exactly the same

Haha love the Sepia pic, nice looking setup Kurupted

Because i want to use ableton with my setup, unless i down grade my cdj's to cdj400's and use pioneers computer based program which i dont want to do because i think there crap compared to the mk3's. I also move around alot and the ease of acsess having all my songs on the go is just awesome. therefore id rather spend the extra money on uprgrading to the djm 700 or 800 not decided yet

if you're using albeton what's the diff if using CDJ1000 or CDj800?

why do u need 1000's so u can hook up abelton

soounds like your wasting money, ever thought 1000's are heavier and bigger than the 800's if u are moving alot, I think you need to research this alittle bit more. There are so so so many better options you can go for than this one!!!

i like 800s the auto loop function is pretty sick but if i had the money i probably would upgrade and get a djm800 there a good mixer.

because i have the money to do so and i love 1000's there the best. Put it this way atleast im not going overboard and having 4 cdj's and 2 turntables like some of the users on here

i didnt say i needed to change to 1000s so i could use ableton, what i was saying was i dont want to downgrade to the 2 cdj400s and the djm 400 to use pioneers computer based program, get me?

get 1000s man there the go [= there just jealous cause they cant afford 1000s hahahahaha

better do it soon pioneer prices are going up = ]

well all I can say is what I would be doing is keeping the 800's, upgrade your mixer which i agree on you there, use the money left over which you were gonna buy the 1000's and buy a midi controller to control your abelton, which this would make is so so much easier to move around abelton more if you are gonna be continuly playing from cdj to abelton.

you can bail out on the midi controller if u get a DJM 800 but there is not really enough midi knobs to map to abelton and would definatly find it a hard time.

the rest of the money, get some tunes, gear isnt everything, tunes are everything!!!

some good advice there!

Sketti should be able to spend his $$$ they way he want's

You get those 1000's man and when you do let me know and I will get rid of those horrible old 2nd rate 800's for you mate

i know he cant, i just think he can do it a better way.

I would buy equiptment so it would help me out the most, what I feel comfortable with, not cos its just the best. and all that stuff that I pointed out would definatly cost less than upgrading to 1000's and a DJM 800. I have 800's and have no worries with it, i play on 1000's when I play out, i see no different

But hey, what ever you do, have fun with it mate

Superstar DJs. Here we go!

^ You are only as good as your equipment.
Oh wait... were you been sarcastic?

So...Um... I'm not gonna be as well known as Daft Punk tomorrow?
